Principal Points
I hope that those who were able to attend Family Fun Night had an enjoyable "Sciency" evening! Mrs. Dreikosen and the school staff work so hard to pull off these fabulous evenings for families. I thank them for all of their hard work and dedication.
As we roll into the month of October, please be sure you have connected with our School Dojo for on-going communication. We strive to show you what we are learning and doing each week. If you ever have any questions, thoughts, or good stories to share about school, please know that my door is always open!
Yours in partnership,
Colleen A. Whooley Jepson

Spirit Days
This year, PTO is providing one popcorn to each student on Spirit Day; students no longer need to bring a quarter for their popcorn. PTO is accepting donations to fund this project at Open House.
End of Day Routine--What's Your Plan???
Please remember your child has a 'regular plan' for after school. If that plan changes you MUST send a note. If the school does not have a note indicating the change, we will follow your child's 'regular plan'.
School Safety
Visitors who arrive during the instructional day will be able to enter the building in the vestibule area by Door 1. At that point, visitors must press the intercom button to speak to the school staff. Please state your reason for visiting the school.
